DeJulio) Newsgroups: comp.periphs,comp.sys.misc Subject: Tektronix 4404? Message-ID: Date: 29 Nov 90 00:55:21 GMT Organization: Chemistry, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 17 I was at a recent "garage sale" type hardware sale, and I picked up a Tektronix 4404 workstation for parts. Can anyone tell me what I've got? I know nothing about the system, and the CPU doesn't have a power supply so I can't power it up and figure things out. They tell me that this thing runs Unix. It has a 40 meg hard drive, and a nifty little card that makes a 5" floppy appear to be a SCSI device. If nothing else, I'd like to figure out how to use that card (it'd be neat for my NeXT to read 5" DOS floppies). It also has a three button mouse, and a very strange keyboard with some sort of 2-d pointing device built into it (not quite a track ball, but similar). I'd either like to get the system up and running or scavange the drive subsystem, the keyboard, the mouse, the monitor, and whatever else I can use elsewhere. -- Doug DeJulio dd26@andrew.cmu.edu
